Javarris Barnett posted a game-high 23 points to lead the way for Charlotte (9-7, 2-2), which also got 10 points apiece from the trio of DeMario Mayfield, Chris Braswell, and Pierria Henry.

Charlotte limited the Billikens to just 40.0 percent from the field during the opening period of play to earn a 34-26 halftime advantage.

The Billikens turned things around in the second stanza, however, hitting 54.5 percent from the field to completely erase the deficit with over 13 minutes remaining. Saint Louis led by as many as 13 with four minutes remaining, but the 49ers made it interesting with a late rally. A three-pointer by Barnett with three seconds left made it a one-point game, but the 49ers did not get to attempt a shot after McCall, Jr's missed free throw on the other end.
